Acceptance

Acceptance

written by: J.D. Gevry

I wish my heart soft but not fragile
to bend with circumstance
and not break

Beating as love and loss

a rhythmic dance
between yearning and acceptance
intimacy and detachment

It is
as it is as
it ever will be
It is as it is as it
ever will be It is as it is
as it is as it ever will be It
is as it is as it ever will be It is
as it is as it ever will be It is as it
is as it ever will be It is as it is as it
ever will be It is as it is as it ever will be
It is as it is as it ever will be It is as it is
as it ever will be It is as it is as it ever will be
It is as it is as it ever will be It is as it is as it
ever will be It is as it is as it ever will be It is as it
is as it ever will be It is as it is as it ever will ever will be
It is as it is as it ever will be It is as it is as it never will be
could have been might have been still is could be should be can’t be with me
